Until Nov. 8, 2008 we will have available a trial of the Web of Science database from ISI. The most well known feature of this resource is the “Citation Search” function – which enables you to find what published articles have cited a known work. All disciplines are covered in the three parts – Arts & Humanities, Social Sciences, and Science.

Access is only available from on-campus; and no username or password is needed to enter the trial. Send your comments about this resource to: Jenica Rogers (ph: 267-3328 or email: rogersjp@potsdam.edu
